SPRING BONNETS N LONDON.
Cousin Madgc writes in London
Truth: ''There was such very pretty
wedding at st. Paul's knightsbridge, on
Saturday afternoon, that we did wish for
you to be there to see it. The bride was
Lady Adela Rous, and she looked charm
ing il her marriage gown OF whire
moire. with small wreath OF orange
blossoms fastened On Wild multitudinous
diamond stars, ard magnificent bou-
quct CT lilies and other white flowers.
The bouquet, l am glad to say, was not
cumbrousl y large, as some brides bou-
quets have been OF late, and the arrange
ment Of the lovely blooms was perfect.
The train OF the wedding dress WAS car
riel by two of the very tiniest pages [
have ever seen. They were dressed in
white satin. The bridesmaids wore really
tasteful dresses Of some pale blue or
eausdc-Nil material, relieved with brown
velvet. Their hats had high crowns Of
eitLer straw or brown velvet, but the
brims were blue Their bouquets were
azale;ls, IN lovely tones Of pink and coral
interningled This attire looked warm
and comfortable. l always think that
white or cream-colorcd dresses for
bridesmaids look cold and chilling at
any time, save summer and early au-
tumn.
II have never seen such bonnets as
those worn by the smart people in the
congregation. One lady appeared in a
very spring g-Gkc bonnet of white straw,
trimmed viii high bunch OF Naples
violets. 4 large cluster of similar bow
ers WAS tucked in the bosom of her dark
hcliotrope-vclvet bodice. \ necklet Of
cut amber lay upon folds Of white lace,
which came down il points upon the
sombre velvet. The ear rings were
amethysts, just little too blue in tone
to assert comfortably with the pale
mauve Of the violets. This lady carried
g delicious little wrap made Of tiger skin
just the sort OF thing that only a very
wealthy woman dare buy, for it could
not possibly be worn more than halt a
dozen times in the year, being too con-
spicuous.
"a handsome brunette had ruby
velvet jacket, quite tight-titting, edged
with beaver. Her bonnet was red, and
so w&s her gown, but the former was
velvet, the latter silk. 4 tail and
splendid blonde, with glorious coils of
pale brown glossy hair, wore bodice
and oyerdress OF putty colored ottoman
over a skirt and plastron OF brightly
striped silk. The collar and cut1s were
OF the stripes. The small bonnet was
embroidered and edged with a fluff OF
silk chenille, just shade darker and a
tone richer than the putty tint Of the
silk. It was trimmed with group Of
red roses or popp;cs. Tie ear rings were
very long and very old-fashioned, but
they We're Of diamonds and pearls Of the
rarest. 4 short ruby velvet mantle,
trimmed With sable tails, just matched
the flowers in the bonnet.
''Tgo sisters in half mourning we're
beautifully dressed, one in black velvet,
trimmed with chinchllla, and bonnet to
match; the other, also il black velvet,
with trimmings Of rich, finely cut steel.
\ handsome but morose looking woman
had no less than three diamond stars in
her bonnet strings. 4 blonde who was
present had something black III her hair.
| We conid not make out what it was, so
decided that she had trutfled Lcr hair as
refreshing novelty.
